The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 456 Make history!
New Year's Day.

When Xu Xing woke up, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

I didn’t actually go to bed very late last night, but I didn’t expect to sleep so long at once.

Maybe because he knew there would be a long vacation later, he completely relaxed.

After surfing the Internet for a while, I found that this gloomy New Year has made everyone more and more worried.

get up.

Then, somewhat unexpectedly, Xu Xing saw Tang Yan downstairs.

Thought she had left.

"I didn't drive here. If I leave and the paparazzi see me, it will have a bad impact. Although it's the first day of the Chinese New Year, some paparazzi are really annoying."

Tang Yan explained.

When she saw Xu Xing coming downstairs, she was annoyed, angry and embarrassed. She was trying hard to delete the memory that seemed to have been engraved in her mind. She was tensely trying to suppress the reaction that her body seemed to instinctively have. She was about to speak in a threatening manner.

But unexpectedly, after Xu Xing looked at her, he stopped on the stairs and stared at her in a daze. He seemed very distant and no one knew what he was thinking.

Tang Yan had no choice but to change the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Oh," Xu Xing came back to his senses and continued walking, "You didn't tell Sun Man - well, do you want something to eat?"

Sun Man moved into the villa that Xu Xing bought.

I told her last night that there was no need to ask the chef to come over or deliver breakfast and lunch. I also saw her message on WeChat just now, asking if Xu Xing had gotten up.

"...not hungry."

Tang Yan shook her head.

She was indeed not hungry, but she was also worried that Xu Xing was making a double entendre. Xu Xing's moral principles and bottom line last night had completely changed Tang Yan's understanding of the world.

"I'm not hungry."

Xu Xing said as he sat down on the sofa.

Tang Yan immediately moved to the other side.

Xu Xing smiled.

Tang Yan was embarrassed and annoyed.

The next moment, shame and anger turned into grief and anger.

Because Xu Xing looked thoughtful after laughing, he still reached out and pressed his hand on her leg.

"Eat something even if you're not hungry."

"…Is this the only thing on your mind?"

Tang Yan's eyes were full of anger.

When she first saw Xu Xing's pure eyes, she thought that Xu Xing had evolved into a human being again today.

"Hmm?" Xu Xing, who pulled Tang Yan's long legs over and casually measured them, was stunned for a moment. "I'm talking about eating. The chef will come over in a while. I'll ask him to cook what you want to eat."

"..."

Tang Yan is even more difficult to describe.

The amusement and lust in Xu Xing's eyes yesterday... that was still normal. His normal and natural behavior today was simply outrageous!

"I'm very happy to see that Sister Yan didn't leave. I——"

"I told you I didn't drive because I was afraid of being seen by reporters."

"What kind of excuse is that? And he's wearing a coat I like better—"

"I'm ready to leave!"

"Sister Yan isn't wearing a pink down jacket, I—"

"You don't have it here!"

"It seems not. But, Sister Yan, look, you are still wearing stockings——"

"I, I wanted to keep warm! I didn't want to wear just a skirt! I put on two layers! I—"

In the middle of the conversation, it was Tang Yan who started talking.

Her eyes became moist and she was about to cry again.

Xu Xing let it go for a while.

She can speak again.

"I really regret coming to film this drama now! I've been delayed for so long, and I met someone like you! Do you know? Xu Xing, if you were like this from the beginning, I wouldn't be so angry. But you, you, you were a good person before, weren't you? Why are you like this? Can't you give me a very good image? It's not like you can't do it. You should really have a lot of women, aren't they enough? I've already, already..."

"already married."

Xu Xing smiled and helped her speak it out.

Tang Yan was really about to cry.

Xu Xing pulled her body over and let her lean on his shoulder.

Although Ms. Tang is tall, her flexibility is better than expected, so this does not affect Xu Xing's continued measurement.

So Tang Yan still shed tears.

Xu Xing took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

"Didn't we discuss this issue yesterday?"

"……Um."

"Weren't you very happy yesterday?"

"..."

"..."

"...Yeah. So I want to cry..."

"Ugh."

"Xu Xing."

"Ok?"

"I really hate you. You made me realize how shameful I am."

"sorry."

"…What's the point of saying sorry now?"

"It's no use."

"..."

"..."

After waiting for a while, Ms. Tang Yan did not speak again, and her tears stopped flowing. Her body became more and more uncomfortable as Xu Xing measured her.

"Then come and eat."

"You...the chef will be here soon!"

Tang Yan pinched Xu Xing.

Then, Xu Xing picked her up, carried her on his shoulders, and walked upstairs.

"That's true. I'll go upstairs so as not to disturb him while he's cooking."

"..."

"Don't worry, I won't let him go upstairs."

"I……"

"Say, how about trying it on the stairs? I forgot about this place yesterday."

"you……"

"Forget it, let's wait until the afternoon."

The last two days in Hai City passed so fulfillingly.

Generally speaking, there are no big problems after sleeping together, and Xu Xing always leaves a deep impression on everyone.

Almost no one is noble and perfect, and everyone has their own dark side. Enjoy your happiness and leave the dark side to Xu Xing.

Xu Xing respected Ms. Tang's request and stopped letting her answer the phone. In exchange, Xu Xing would let her do whatever she wanted when she answered the phone, and would let her do whatever she wanted when she didn't answer the phone.

It’s a moment of depravity where unlocking any achievement feels like pushing open a paper door.

On the second night of the Chinese New Year, Xu Xing drove her for a ride.

When driving, she serves with all her heart, and when parking, she enjoys herself to the fullest.

Everything in the outside world has almost nothing to do with the two of them.

Apart from the unsolicited phone calls, the only outside topic the two of them took the initiative to talk about was Kobe's death in a helicopter accident.

The boss passed away on this day.

On January 1, the third day of the Chinese New Year, Xu Xing returned to Beijing.

While giving Ms. Tang a ride home, she also accomplished a small goal of several hundred million.

When she got off the car, she was speechless and her face turned red. She didn't even say a formal goodbye and went upstairs in a hurry.

On the highway back to Beijing, Xu Xing’s WeChat messages exploded and her phone was bombarded with calls.

Because at the 62nd Grammy Awards ceremony being held in Los Angeles, across the ocean, Xu Xing won the Best Pop Duo or Group Award for "Old Town Road", becoming the first person in the country to win a Grammy award in the pop category, making history!

I have won real Grammy Awards in China before, not those fake awards sponsored by advertisers, but both in the classical and performance categories.

"Regrettably", Xu Xing did not attend the award ceremony.

A few days ago, Interscope's CEO John called and told Xu Xing that she had basically secured the award, and once again urged Xu Xing to attend.

On the 24th, when the crew of "Fanhua" stopped working, Xu Xing flew there directly, and he was actually in time.

But at this moment, Xu Xing was not suitable to run out and sing and dance.

——Although Xu Xing will not be attending, "Old Town Road", as the most popular song last year, is still scheduled to be performed at the award ceremony. Billy Ray Cyrus, who won the award together with Xu Xing, will perform with two singers. It would be too awkward for Xu Xing to go on stage and not perform with them. If she goes on stage and has no time to prepare and adjust her state, she will basically be in trouble.

The first person to call was John.

Sun Man, who was watching the award ceremony closely, received a call from John before she even saw the award announced.

——This award will not be presented on stage, so it is announced. Usually, the Grammy Awards will only present no more than ten of the most important awards on stage, mainly in the general category.

On the phone, he warmly congratulated Xu Xing on the Chinese Light shining brighter and more, and strongly requested that Xu Xing must not release only one English single this year like last year. He gave up only after Xu Xing promised to release at least two songs and to produce an English album as much as possible.

Xu Xing also congratulated him on his great victory at this year's Grammy Awards.

Referring to Billie Eilish.

In her previous life, she won five out of six Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist. She was the first female singer in history to achieve this and also the youngest singer to achieve such an accomplishment.

The European and American music industry used this Grammy Award to announce that they had chosen a music star who represents Generation Z.

"No, not yet. The awards haven't been given out yet, not yet."

John denied it with a smile.

Xu Xing also laughed.

"There will be. When you called, the popular collaboration hadn't been announced yet."

"Really? Actually, it has already been awarded, but there is a delay in your live broadcast. Yes, there is a delay. Xing, I thought you didn't care about the Grammys at all! This is the Grammys!"

"Yeah, the Grammys. Congratulations to Billie for sweeping the general awards!"

"Huh~Haha!"

"The Grammys are recorded and broadcasted. You didn't keep it a secret and I found out."

"Hahaha! Xing, you're so funny."

After teasing each other.

Finally, he mentioned the situation in China and expressed his concern for Xu Xing.

But in fact, in John's opinion, it is easy to understand why Xu Xing opened the champagne for Billie in advance.

First of all, Xu Xing has always shown his extraordinary appreciation for Billie. John, who knew about Xu Xing's gossip in China, once wondered if Xu Xing was attracted by Billie's naturally gifted figure, but Xu Xing always maintained his appreciation for her music.

Xu Xing, who is also a Chinese but has an incredibly accurate grasp of the popular pulse of the European and American music scene, is particularly optimistic about Billie, which made Interscope maintain an even more optimistic attitude towards Billie than in the past. At the beginning of her album release, her social media performance was not particularly outstanding, but Interscope still invested a huge amount of resources without hesitation, and everything paid off in the end.

For Billie, she can also feel Xu Xing's appreciation and support for her.

Therefore, when the Best Newcomer award was presented earlier, Billie mentioned Xu Xing's name when giving her acceptance speech and mentioned Xu Xing's encouragement to her.

It seems normal that Xu Xing would open champagne for Billie at John's place, as Billie is already a hot favorite with high odds.

The domestic entertainment section has already discussed it a lot. Billie's speech was highly praised by netizens and Xu Xing's fans, and the stars were even more enthusiastic about it——

"Even if Xu Xing still can't win a Grammy Award today, he has still proved his influence on the European and American music scene!"

To the little black fans, it was nothing new. They thought Xu Xing must have had an affair with her.

Billie's remarks also attracted a lot of attention on foreign social media.

They are mainly European and American netizens who attack the current situation in China, as well as Justin Bieber fans who have always regarded Xu Xing as a thorn in their eyes.

After Billie became popular in Europe and the United States last year, almost all of her past was exposed. She used to be a fan of Justin Bieber, but she collaborated with Xu Xing on a version of the song "Shape of You" that she had a dispute with JB on.

Bieber fans called her a betrayer last year.

Therefore, when Billie mentioned Xu Xing in her acceptance speech, it was more likely that she was trying to hit back at those remarks or was deliberately hyping up the issue.

After all, she was a woman whose second album flopped. After that flop, she directly claimed to like women in order to attract attention when releasing her third album. After losing a lot of fans, she said that she had no intention of coming out. However, as a daughter of a gay man, she still won nothing at the Grammy Awards for her third album.

Xu Xing was not sure what happened after that.

Anyway, these people in the European and American music scene are more dramatic than each other.

After hanging up the phone with John, the other people's phones started bombarding as if the fuse had finally burned out.

Two mobile phones, two numbers, one within the circle, one private, all were flooded with calls.

Answer two calls at the same time, and have a backup phone so you can reply to WeChat messages at the same time.

Xu Xing was bored in the car and answered almost all the calls from everyone.

The last person to call was Yu Murong.

This year, considering her work and safety, she will spend the New Year in Shenzhen and will not return to Beijing.

Yu Murong asked about Xu Xing's journey, and then began to congratulate Xu Xing and explained why he called so late.

Anyway, she is Xu Xing's sister, so she can save the time to congratulate others first.

However, after hanging up the phone, Xu Xing specifically looked for him. She, like Qu Mingzhen, called as soon as the results came out, but she didn't get through.

She might have thought that there were too many calls today and Xu Xing wouldn’t check the call records?

At 1 a.m., Xu Xing returned to Beijing. Qu Mingzhen, who was waiting for him at home, did not go to bed early. He also prepared a cake to celebrate for Xu Xing.

As it was late at night, the cake was not eaten, but it was fully utilized.

Okay, I ate it anyway.

The next day, Xu Xing went to his villa, where the six-member group of "Spring Red Envelope" who were to make a stunning appearance on the Spring Festival Gala were waiting.

There was not much festive atmosphere offline this Spring Festival, but this song became a comfort to many viewers and netizens.

Although we know that they are lip-syncing, the song's cheerful melody and rich, vivid lyrics are full of the flavor of the Chinese New Year. This is the real Spring Festival.

Moreover, the overall appearance is really pleasing to the eye!

Six people dressed in bright red, each of them I want to hug!
I don't mean anything else, I just want to see them laugh.

Before Xu Xing entered the door, he thought that there would be six little red girls waiting for him.

"Making dumplings with wheat flour brings joy to the eyebrows, adding green willows to paint the spring morning. Stringing together a string of big red lanterns for auspicious signs, filling red envelopes with spring spirit..."

did not expect--

"Thump, thump, thump! Next, I'll present the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration or Group Performance. The winner is—"

Meng Ziyi stood on the sofa holding the microphone, and the other five people in the audience lined up and applauded.

All were in evening gown.

"Xu Xing!!!"
